Virat Kohli has reached another milestone in his career during the 2nd Test match against Bangladesh.

However, he did his job as India took the lead of 52 runs on day four. Bangladesh scored 233 runs in the first innings, but thanks to Indian batters' rapid gameplay, they scored 285 runs in just 34.4 overs. Indian openers batted at lightning speed, thrashing every ball possible. Rohit Sharma started his innings with two back-to-back sixes, putting the pressure on the bowler and the team.

Yashasvi Jaiswal did his job well from the other end, scoring 72 runs off 51 balls. It was an incredible performance from the betters as their lively batting won the hearts of the viewers. They played Test matches like T20 matches, which entertained the crowd throughout. KL Rahul also played a quickfire half-century knock.
